Federal judge lifts DT administration’s halt of nearly complete offshore wind farm in New England
"A federal judge ruled Monday that a nearly complete offshore wind project halted by the administration can resume, dealing DT a setback in his ongoing effort to restrict the fledgling industry."

“This can’t be interpreted…as anything else but an attack directly on trans kids.”
In my first ever byline for Teen Vogue, I spoke with trans students, with #Texas teachers, and those who support them about this troubling #law that's singling out trans, enby and gender nonconforming kids: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/texas-schools-forced-to-deadname-trans-students

I'm still so pissed about the removal of Jimmy Kimmel's show 😠
Thankfully @arjenlubach is now also talking about it and how bad the US of a-holes(.gov) has become
The ONLY positive thing about Trump is that he is also just a human with an expiration date..
Ah, Bluesky, my sweet summer child.
You're going to enforce your "rules against harassment and toxic content". And then you'll discover that it's the same set of people doing the toxic shit. And those toxic people are connected to really powerful people from a specific political party.
And suddenly you'll be getting calls from really wealthy fascists asking why you're enforcing this liberal bias by squashing conservative speech...
It's so predictable I can't even. There is no neutral position. If you clamp down on all the hate speech and toxic shit, you will clamp down disproportionately on a specific demographic who will throw a (potentially violent) temper tantrum.
The thing is, Bluesky is fundamentally capitalist. They need money and all the money is with the fascists these days. If they clamp down on toxic fascists, they will clamp down on wealthy fascists and their money will dry up. This won't last.
Pleeeease US peeps (or anyone else I suppose), if you're going to post a link to a news story about Trump, tag it with #USPol, or use the word Trump in your post, so I don't suddenly have an unexpected and unwanted picture of the daft orange redacted word in the link preview in my home feed. It slips through my filters trying to avoid him and all the rest of your mad shit.

In today's post for @medium, I write about the troubling reactions to last week's killing of #CharlieKirk.
Here's a link to bypass the paywall:

Today’s autism announcement was just as bad as we feared
Trump blamed Tylenol & vaccines for autism
He encouraged women to just “tough out” their pain
He praised people who don’t “need” meds or vaccines
These are eugenicist talking points & they’re devastating to the disability community.
My latest looks at the threat to our lives, as well as how we can support one another.
We must not give up hope, but we need our non disabled allies to fight with us.
Refuse to see us as expendable and help us demand better:

20 minute documentary “How to erase a people“
on why settler-colonialism is an aboslute evil, how a people and their culture co-exist and evolve with nature, how their language is specific to their way of life, and how their way of life is shaped by the land on which they live. Ultimately, uprooting a people, forcing them to move to another land, necessarily destroys their way of life and erases their culture.

80 minute documentary film “Israelism“ (by Vice, on YouTube)This film makes very clear what motivates Jewish pro-Palestinian people in the US to protest, and how their Jewish faith makes their conviction in peace and humanitarianism so powerful.

The closer we get to Election Day, the more intent the Far Right (in this case, Stephen Miller) is on cock blocking democracy.
Share widely and take action: Tell the EAC to stop the Miller-proposed 'Show Me Your Papers' rule for voting.

I know there's a general "cause fatigue" with the current state of the world, and I feel it too.
But in my years working in privacy,
I don't think I've seen anything as terrifying as this European Chat Control proposal. And I'm not even European.
Everyone needs to pay
much more attention and be much more worried and outraged about this.
This proposal is the most dystopian glimpse into a horrible authoritarian future I have seen so far in the West.
It looks dismal, but we can still stop it
if we all work TOGETHER NOW ✊
There isn't much time left though,
so don't put it to next week.
Democracy dies in silence.
Everyone: Learn more here
Everyone: Spread the word on social media
Europeans 🇪🇺 Contact your local media NOW
Europeans 🇪🇺 Contact your MEPs NOW
The final vote is on October 14th,
but media and representatives need to receive your messages NOW, so they have enough time to act on it.

Chicago is in Cook County and now courts are safer.
"Cook County’s top judge signed an order barring ICE from arresting people at court."
"...bars the civil arrest of any “party, witness, or potential witness” while going to court proceedings. It includes arrests inside courthouses and in parking lots, surrounding sidewalks and entryways."

Congratulations to #UCLA for its victory in court against the Trump administration. This is the first step in the reinstatement of approved but unlawfully withheld research grants.

PS: No university that has brought such a suit has lost. Harvard and UCLA have both won. There's no reason for other universities in the same boat to capitulate.

Trump is adding a 100% tariff to branded pharmaceuticals made outside the US.
This move could be devastating to the disability community.
It will likely drive costs up and create more supply chain issues at a time when we’re already seeing unprecedented medication shortages
The vast majority of people enrolled in #healthcare plans under the #AffordableCareAct [#ACA] receive additional #federal #TaxCredits that were first expanded by President #Biden & #Congress in 2021.
Those subsidies, set to expire at the end of the year, are now the subject of a standoff between #Democratic & #Republican lawmakers.

The foundational belief of the right wing is this:
I am rich because of my hard work, not just because I was born rich. You are poor because you are lazy, not just because you were born poor.

这是比较中性的bbc的报道：
比我之前连接的视频好一点。
总的来说，感觉非常不对。
1. 特别是美国的报道的味道好像也有被人故意带扁的嫌疑
2. 这么大的事情，本应该是非常的有关注度的，但有感觉又好像被操控了
3. 中国那里...算了，这变态的中共就算有报道了也是吹吹牛
